As far as digital images projected on analog paper with a laser, go to your local 1 hour minilab.... it probably has one ... the fancy Lightjet printers are a totally different ( like 100x cost factor) than what you and I would have at home, and are a real viable alternative for good quality prints. My local pro lab switched to these some years ago, and for color work, they exceed the older workflow. Your image gets scanned, cleaned up, and printed for about what we used to pay for pure analog work. Getting a copy of the scan for use on your own time, is a totally different charge...... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net Any idea how the prints compare to those from the big printers that "paint" lasers on real film paper and then develop the paper traditionally? I can get prints on true B&W RC paper for $2.50 per 8x10. Anybody interested in doing a print swap to compare?
